England have not played yet

Exactly, so let's not jump the gun and write off Nigeria and the Saudis too early.

Nigeria were very disappointing, I was really looking forward to watching them, but for some reason they never turned up. Didn't really think much of Croatia either, they look their age.

I'd laugh if he doesn't play. The commentator was doing my head in. Kept going on about him, last match.

So would I! Never heard a player on the bench talked about so much, there is every chance he's still injured and has just gone along as a cheerleader. To add to that, Ronaldo has started this World Cup with the intention of ending any Salah-Ballon d'Or talk, which even though I don't like Ronaldo is great because the scousers would celebrate it like a trophy, heaven knows they need one.

Smalling gets away with that most weekends.

Its one thing in football that really annoys me, it happens in nearly every game, but its rarely given as a foul in the penalty area, yet anywhere else on the pitch, its always given.

I'd really love referees to clamp down on it.

Was it me or did the Nigeria Centre Half have a gumshield in?

I don't know. Did you have a gum shield in ?

Could quite easily watch another game tonight. Loved it today.

You must be a glutton for punishment if you've just watched that Nigeria game.

It was enough to put you off football for life.

FIFA should send them home for stinking the place out.

 

[depps]

Nacho should have started. Nigeria looked much better when he came on.

I think there could be a surprise in this group with Croatia and Iceland going through

Might have an issue with his teeth, gums, or the jaw where they fit. One of the lads that used to play in the team my lad played in had to wear one.

Round up of the day

France didn't look that great. Iceland work their arses off. Messi is a selfish bastard. Peru look great but lose. Danes look mediocre and win. Nigeria looked poor. Croats in control

VAR is shite and will give any form of contact a penalty. Defenders nightmare
